    I tried to see if there was some batch fix for it in Sims 4 Studio, but there didn't seem to be.

    What I have noticed is:
    1. Vampires don’t work properly
    2. My game Crashed while saving it that bad that I had to sign out of my computer to get it to shut down

    When I add egg hunting to a holiday my sims are not dining the collectable eggs. They are finding chicken eggs. It also doesn't complete the holiday goal.

    Latest patch broke the animations for the Invention Constructor in the scientist career and The Surgery Table in the Doctor Career. They are usable but the animation bugs out and causes sims to T-Pose. This includes giving birth at hospital.

    Ok Barristers and Bartenders are broken. The barristers stands around and chats, but no one autonomously orders from the barrister. If you order they will work, but after they complete your order no one automatously orders. Sims will however get water, wash dishes, empty the trash, and clean autonomously.

    Folks are watching movies - but only because I said watch it. Before that they sat down in front of the screens and they were turned off, so maybe movies are broken too - or it is just some autonomous actions.
    I checked in two different saves, same behavior.

    My sim is meeting in a karaoke bar. He went to sing autonomously, and folks booed him, as they should he was horrible. However no one is ordering drinks and food. The bartender is behind the bar chatting and cleaning, but not making drinks or food.

    This breaks my heart. 💔 In all my saves cafes, clubs, bars, karaoke bars were always lively. I hope this gets fixed really quickly and doesn't break any mods in the process.

    In another save at the arcade I created. And sparks are flying off this bartender so I think that they are truly malfunctioning.

    The pets I download from the gallery are turning black again 🙁 Is the patch responsible for this?

    My sim in the law career was unable to take a day off work (the option on the phone was not there).

    The biggest bug is the one that deletes the names and surnames of ghost Sims. Surely no one noticed, that's why no one complains. Look at your family tree and you will find out.

    When I try to place ducks or swans in my pond, the only thing you can see is their little disembodied feet swimming around.

    Is that happening mod-free? IIRC there's a mod that hasn't been updated for Cottage Living content yet that might be causing this. I can't recall which one.

    Sims will sometimes have their heads turned one way whilst doing an interaction. One was washing dishes and had his head facing the counter the whole time, whilst another took a nap on a loveseat and was looking straight up at the ceiling (they lay on their sides).

    For me now it's impossible to play a multi sim household. I don't have cottage living but since the update my game is messed up. Sims action queue clears as soon as I switch to another sim so I can't take care of everyone's needs. They either just stand still for ages, walk in circles with an umbrella or repeatedly try to queue the same action obsessively e.g. working out on treadmill. This is the worst affected my game has been because of a patch.

    This game is going down the toilet fast.
    Such a shame... Things I've been encountering a lot are teleporting Sims, T pose Sims, queues that won't clear, FPS drops.. The game is a -MESS-.

    @Inna Minnit I was able to put ducks and swans down with no issues.

    However card tables are broken too. Sent my sim to the bar with three other sims, there are a total of 8 sims in the bar + bartender and 5 sims outside the bar staring at the celebrity kicking the trash can, and the game said she needs other sims to play with.

    When I try to place ducks or swans in my pond, the only thing you can see is their little disembodied feet swimming around.

    This will happen if you don't have enough space to place the ducks on the pond. They take up a large grid of squares and you need to make sure there isn't any logs or lily pad within that grid or it will bump up the ducks above the water.... also the grid can't be placed too close to the edges of the pond or, again, the ducks will bump up above the water level and look like they're floating over the water.

    It's not a bug or glitch, you just need to make sure there is enough empty space within the grid placement of the ducks, just like placing anything else in the game. If you have MOO on then it will allow you to place the ducks anywhere, but they'll still float above the water if anything got in the way of placing them flat on the water.

    Once you've placed ducks/swans then you can place down lily pads, logs, etc anywhere within the grid of the ducks (if you have MOO on).

    Long story short: make your ponds, place ducks/swans first before anything else to ensure that they're sitting flat on the water, then place the rest of your decor items.

    Edit to add: One trick I've been meaning to try but haven't gotten around to it yet is to try sizing down the duck/swan grid to try and fit them into smaller ponds. I'm not sure if that trick will work or not and whether or not it will also size down the ducks? Don't want a bunch of micro-sized ducks swimming around, LOL. But I want to give it a try and see if that will help to better fit them onto smaller ponds without shrinking the ducks. :)

    I reported the fame walk bug. If you have the same issue, please click Me Too 🙂

    This makes me cringe too 🤮

    When I turn off the fame walk, they revert to fame walk when I switch to other households so it's no use

    They need a patch for this patch. It's like every couple of years they put one out that breaks everything.

    Discovered another problem. Had my sim bake fish pie. Could not find the pie after I saw her put it in the oven. Somehow she stopped cooking and went to play with the cat. I had her make another fish pie, she had to empty the oven before she could bake it. I could not see how to get the pie out of the oven.

    Those Windenburg bushes are broken for me. Tried to have a sim nap there and she'd just always cancel the action and do the "can't reach it" gesture. Tested it on two different locations (with mods disabled). Funnily enough, she was able to "fertilize" one.
    Sims were also unable to woohoo in a bush.

    Pet adoption doesn't work, yesterday I have tried it in vanilla updated game after someone posted about it here and I can confrim that adoption doesn't work. Only a box with no interactions will appear with no shelter worker or an animal in sight.

    Update, adoption works for me normally right now :)
